I found the TC holy grail!! (sorry no pics guys)

March 09, 2009, 11:14:44 PM

I know i know, my words mean nothing.

But just wait guys i will sneak a picture next time i am there.

A friend told me he thought he saw a couple of tbird/cougars sitting in a field way WAY!!! out in the sticks, and was he ever right!

I love missouri for two reasons, 1 the hills, views and roads. 2 the people.

i pulled into the guys drive way unexpected on a sunday afternoon and ended up staying almost till dark. He had at least 30-40 Turbo coupes, a hand full of v8/v6 cars and tons of rare if not one of a kind stuff.

the trip started with my needed parts list consisting of two transmissions, a decklid for the tbird, a head light for the cougar and who knows what else.

I didnt buy a thing. I seemed to win his respect by offering to pull my bent and damaged parts to replace what i take before i took it. Almost all of the cars were mostly complete but mismatched here and there.

Being a young guy he told me stories of old time circle track racing and drag racing. I was born in the wrong generation. I can only dream of knowing the feeling of a altered wheelbase 65 falcon slinging sideways around a dirt corner.

And as you guys can probably tell by how uncollected my thought are in this post i am very excited to make this new friend.

Boss heads, one of a kind body kits. a diffrent set of wheels for every day of the week, The parts are not nearly as valuable as the knowledge the guys has behind the pieces.

The guy started a fire in my soul and the only way to put it out is with a 180mph wind. I cant wait to see how my life turns out when im 65 if its half as good as this fellas, i will be happy

sorry the pics are blurry,, if you want this book, send pm.

Or,,
go to bookmooch.com and look for revisedelf or brittiney cassity.

its a site where all you do is post up books you have,,
next you just go look at what everyone else has and order it. The book is free and the shipper pays media mail to you all for free.

When someone mooches a book from you, you mail it to them and you pay the media mail.

you build up points or something that makes it like a bank account or something like that. Im not on there, brit is. she loves it.

I do not know him from NATO, I've talked to him a couple of times on the phone. He indeed has a body kit, at last time we spoke he is not interested in selling it. Most of his parts he was not interested in selling. Most of his cars are not parts cars but instead his own collection. He has almost every color made in 88.

Don't get excited people, I do not think he is a substantial parts source. Most of his stuff is to fix his own stuff

sorry

If you are serious about meeting this guy and seeing his collection then keep in touch with me. I dont want to seem too needy so Im going to give him a week or two to forget about me and then call him up and try and to make offical time to go up there.

At that time I will also ask him if he would mind if i brought a few friends. "Friends" being you guys, Anyone from southern missiouri i will meet up with in springfield, and anyone from the north I would meet in Sedalia. I would not charge anything for the drive however if you wish to throw in 2 or 3 dollars for the gas i would appreciate it.

I do plan on keeping this mostly secretive as i dont want to run myself out of the opportunity to have what i need, and i dont want to cause any comotion for this fella.

He knows how to use the net, and could advertise himself if he chose and you can probably collect that he chooses not to.

and if the only thing you are interested in is just the body kit....

.... just give me some time, my friend the boat builder only needs a mold of the bumpers made. Something the two of us can go do in his garage in a day and then starting making our own.

Oh and just to tease everyone a bit more, not only does he have 1 but 3 diffrent styles of kits!!

Very serious. Even if not to get parts just to look at everything. I wouldnt be against getting parts though:hick: .The older guys are the best to talk to because their stories sound like movie themes. My uncle and some guys he knows have some great stories.

I understand the not wanting to rush the guy thing. Dont want to mess up a good thing. His collection seems like it could be very useful to to the community overall. Keep me updated, via PM or whatever. Sounds like the trip would be a good time
